People are what matter.
That’s what we forget too often.
When I think about how I’ve made a living since 1986, I can honestly say is comes down to a single issue: Relationships.
Those who know me and interact with me, will likely tell you that they matter to me. They know and feel that they have value to me, because it’s true. They do.
This experience, when you consider it, changes everything. Your interactions with others will have a direct influence on the amount of influence you have as a person. Influence affects al aspects of life.
…but people have to matter to you.
This isn’t about selling to people. It isn’t about getting people to do what YOU want, either.
It’s about caring.
I’ll say it again:
People Matter.
Try something this week, and I’ll prove this to you.
Next time to have to interact with another person — and this could be live, or even over the phone — do this: Before the interaction begins, say: “Hey, before we start, I just want to say ‘Thank you’, if no one else does today. I sure appreciate what you do, and I’m grateful.”
…and notice how the experience improves…for BOTH of you.
Have a great week.
